Dear Joe, Nancy, Joey, Kenny, Marty and Charlie

It seems like yesterday that I was expressing sorrow at the loss of Nancy's dear mother Anita. I cannot imagine how much more difficult it is for you to lose two more of your parents. It must be comforting to know they are together in death as they were in their many long years of marriage. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
